Global Telesat Awarded Additional Asset Tracking and Mapping Order by U.S. Premier Emergency Response Organization

Follow-On Multi-Year Services Order Illustrates Repeat Customer Loyalty for Critical Tracking Services

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 19, 2014) - Global Telesat Corp. ("GTC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of World Surveillance Group Inc. (OTCQB: WSGI), a developer of lighter-than-air aerostats and unmanned aerial systems, has been awarded a follow-on multi-year order to provide additional satellite-based tracking and mapping services for the United States' premier emergency response organization. The new order resulted from GTC's proven performance under the original order awarded in early 2012 and the organization's efficient streamlined costs utilizing the improved GTCTrack portal. 

The order requires GTC to provide specialized satellite tracking devices, satellite airtime and online mapping capabilities as part of a disaster preparedness and emergency relief program to locate and monitor the movements of a variety of the organization's mobile assets across the U.S. Utilizing a combination of GTC's online mapping portal, GTCTrack (www.gtctrack.com), and the GPS and Globalstar satellite networks, the tracking devices provided by GTC will send one-way predefined messages with their respective GPS locations and other information required by the customer to track the beginning or end of the mobile asset's journey or its movement out of a pre-authorized zone.

GTC's mapping portal, GTCTrack, enables the tracking devices to be visually located and monitored by the customer in near real-time from a PC or mobile device via a Google Maps™ interface in addition to providing historic data showing past movements of the mobile assets. GTCTrack enables the customer to monitor and remotely control equipment, machinery and other assets, and locate the position of and communicate with lone workers or personnel, wherever they or such assets are located in the world. GTCTrack offers customers geo-fencing capabilities and user alerts based on numerous events such as excess speed, location changes, power on and off, and start or finish of journey.

WSGI's President and CEO, Glenn D. Estrella, stated, "We are excited to again be selected by the United States' premier emergency response organization to provide GTC's specialized satellite tracking and mapping services for such an important application. This follow-on order clearly illustrates the reliability and quality of GTC's tracking products and advanced mapping capabilities even when used in the most demanding situations."
